APPLICATION PELE@ JULY 17, 1913.

@y mi@ Pam .jam

my present invention has nir passages extending throughout its lenwth7 said air prisbeing regularly distributed throughout the cross section of the cigar. These eir passages insure the free draft and perfect combustion. rElie tobacco of which the eigar is composed being compressed and densilied burns nuurh more slowly than the tobacco oi a cigni' constructed in the Ordinar, manneland also burns more evenly. this respect the cigar made in accordance Ywith my novel process resembles a bundle of sliced plug tobnec'o.

ln 'rorrugating tho sheet forming the body of the cigar and made up of several superposed leaves of tobacco, as herein shown and describe-tl'. it will be obvious that the sheet or body has closely compressed areas and intervening areas which are relatively loose, so that while the cigar made from the rolled sheet will be slow-burning, owing to the closely compressed areas, there will be Suiicient looseness so that it will draw prop` erly. The cigar embodying my invention has `the additional advantage that little or no skill is required in its manufaeture. As is Well known, the manufacture of ordinary cigars requires great slrill and deftness in the arrangement of the leaves of tobacco and in rolling and finishing the cigar. n the manufacture ot my novel cigar skilled labor is not required, as a person unfamiliar with the handling of tobacco can easily superpose the sheets, subject them to pres- Inl sure in the die and roll up and finish the oigan lVhnt I claim is:

l. cigar comprising a body eomposed'oi' a series of leaves or sheets of tobacco, said body haring closely compressed and iein tively loose areas, and which body rolled upon itself to :toi-m the cigar.

ol tobacco composed ot' a series oi leaves or sheets. said body being rolled upon itsel'r' with the corrugations extending lengthwise ot' the cigar7 said Corruentions aiording longitudinal air passages.

The ilmproved cigni' comprising' a iiller composed oi a corrugated sheet of eompressed tobacco rolled upon itself and a wrapper, one projecting edge of which is l'olded over the inner edge of the iiller and the other edge of n'hieh serves to set-ure he rolled .filler in place.

l. he improved process of making a ei- `ar whieh consists in super-posing a pluralitulv ot' sheets ot moist tobacco, subjecting the saine to pressure in arnold to Compress the tobacco. and to form longitudinal corrugations therein, and then rolling the same upon itself to form the Cigar.

In testimony `whereof I aiiiX my signature, in presence oi tivo witnesses.
